92 Asphyxiations at the Romping Rave

Wow, I'm on a roll! Filmed this tutorial yesterday, and edited today. I think nonspoken tutorials are easier to film & edit for me, because I tend to talk ON and ON and it makes the vid too long. And boring. So idk if I want to continue with silent+music tutorials or spoken tutorials. And narrated tutorials are not an option, I think I would sound ridiculous.

I Choose You! Tutorial Series - #001 Bulbasaur

So, new pokemon video up! This time it's Bulbasaur. When I was a kid, bulbasaur used to be my favorite pokemon, though I'm not entirely sure why. I guess the idea of a plant dinosaur (who, I might add, looked very cute) that could possibly be my friend was really exciting. And it could use vine whip. Boo yah. Not too entirely happy with this tutorial, I think it's kind of messy and rushed, but whatever. It's not THAT terrible... I think

I Choose You! Tutorial Series - #025 Pikachu

When one thinks of Pokemon, one imediately thinks of Pikachu, so I figure it was pretty much necessary to do a tutorial on him first (despite the fact Pikachu is not my favorite pokemon... I personally think he's a bit overrated). This is actually a re-do; my first Pikachu tutorial was only on Youtube for about a day before I deleted it. It was horribly rushed and messy, plus it was too long to fit into 10 minutes. This one is much better, and I put more effort into it.

New Tutorial Series!

I probably should have posted this when I made the video, but it completely slipped my mind. [headdesk].
I think it's pretty self explanatory. My love of all things nerdy and cute, plus make up? Pretty much equals me, a very happy camper.

I need to think of more interesting ways to say "Haul" in the title

Er yeah. Like the title says, I like to think of interesting ways to say "haul" instead of just being blatant. Because I try to be a clever motherfucker. But I'm not at the moment. So, if you have any idears, I would like to hear them (I have used Haulage, "They See Me Haulin', They Hatin'", and the like beforehand). Er, yeah anyways.

Yesterday I went to the mall and bought quite a few things. First of all, I went to MAC to FINALLY check out the Makeup Art Cosmetics collection. I had already seen the promo pictures and swatches and whatnot, so I knew what to expect for the most part. I wasn't too impressed with the quads or any of the lip or cheek things. The single eyeshadows were mediocre, and the ones that interested me I had dupes for. I was interested in 3 eyeliners and one of the pigments. The pigment I wanted to see, Push The Edge, was out of stock. Plus, I think I have a dupe for it. So I looked to the liners; Colour Matters (bright green), Obviously Orange (coral-orange), and I forget the name of the last one, the one that looks like romping but in liner form. I wasn't too impressed with Obviously Orange, because personally I found it was a bit too light and frosty for my skin tone, and the hot pink one was also sold out. Boo. I also decided to pick up Reflects Copper on a whim, because I heard such great things about it.

Since I had some left over money (two gift cards together totaling in at about $55) I decided to pick up something that I have always wanted from the permanent line; Morange lipstick. I saw a few girls rocking orange lipstick recently and I thought it looked really hot, so why not try it? And I'm so glad I did. It's gorgeous, and my new favorite bold lipcolor. Much more unique than hot pink.

Anyways, Lancome was having a deal; spend about $30 and get a cute carying case, minis of their Bi-Facial make up remover, Absolue Premium cream, Genifique youth activating concentrate, and Definicil mascara, PLUS a full size lipstick (two choices) and either a blush or mini shadow quad. And to boot, if you spend $50, you get three extra full size lipsticks FOR FREE! It was a great deal, so my mom bought a Lancome Dual finish powder (I didn't take pictures or swatch it), and I bought a full size of Definicils mascara, because I love it soo much. Now on to the goodies!

Cute bag! Choice of it in either red, blue, or black.

Tada!

We chose the blush duo instead of the eyeshadow quad; Top is "Cedar Rose", bottom is "Aplum"

Oh hi there, China Glaze


So I've been a bit... MIA... when it comes to Blogging. Not that I am a very constant Blogger, I am very lazy. But anyways, Swapmeet again! And you know what that means!

...No, you don't?
NAILPOLISH.
This time none of the OPI colors I saw were very appealing, but what did grab me were the Chinaglaze colors. Which is why I ended up buying 8 nailpolishes.
5 for $5, and 3 for $9. So 8 for $14 isn't bad!

I am so excited to paint my nails, eee!
